PSP Eboots

Convert ISOs to Eboots

Convert your own PS1 ISOs into Eboots using PSX2PSP.

Popsloader

If you are having some trouble with converted eboots, be sure to download Popsloader v4g here. Most of the games will work without it nowadays, but for those that don't, you'll need this. See popsloader compatibility list.
